Return to the Secret Garden
Life is magical. Hope never dies. Miracles do happen. Holly’s sequel to classic book The Secret Garden is like a toasted marshmallow for your heart. Or like a cuddly puppy sleeping on your stomach.

Emmie is one of a group of children evacuated to the country mansion. She’s heartbroken at being parted from her family. But that was before the crying boy. That was before finding Mary’s diary. That was before the secret garden…
